A scar is always a resulting factor of having surgery. However, incisions made at the hands of a facial plastic surgeon are made as discreetly as possible. Scars are placed so they are well camouflaged and very difficult to see. Any scar will be pink/ red during the healing period (generally 6-12 months) and after that are generally imperceptible.

Q: Is it better to have everything done at once or have several procedures spaced out?

That depends on your goals and desires. In general, the cost is less to combine the procedures and you only undergo one recovery period, instead of several. On the downside, it may take a bit longer to heal (longer anesthetic, multiple procedures).

Q: How long will surgery last?

Changes made to the tissues are permanent. However, your face will continue to age. Many patients will need a touch up after about 10 years, depending on genetics and the care they provide to their skin and body.

Q: What is the expected recovery time? When can I go back to work?

Depending on the type of procedure, recovery is generally 7-10 days. Most patients can resume work after 1 to 2 weeks. Regular physical exercise may be slowly resumed after 7-10 days. Makeup can be used to help camouflage the areas that are bruised after one week. Social activities can be resumed after 3 to 4 weeks.

Q: What is the best age to get a facelift?

There is no perfect age for a facelift . The younger the patient, the better the results last and the less dissection is needed. In general, younger patients heal faster, better and have better results. We treat patients with the very beginning signs of aging to the more severe signs of aging and everything in between. The most important factor is the patient’s overall health in pursuing elective surgery no matter their age.

Q: Can a facelift be done on a man?

Absolutely, men can have facelift surgery . The incision is often contoured differently for a man, but the ability to tighten the jaw line and the skin under the chin are no different. In fact, this is one of the fastest growing populations seeking cosmetic refinements!

Q: Will non-surgical options work for me?

There are many non-surgical options on the market, such as injectable fillers, Botox , non-surgical fat removal, and microneedling . In general, nothing but a facelift accomplishes a facelift. Most non- surgical options are excellent adjuncts for, but not replacements of, surgical procedures.

SMAS TO LIPS

Home | Lip Rejuvenation

Lip Rejuvenation

Procedure at a Glance:

Indications: For patients who are also having a minilift or lower facelift procedure that have thinning and reduced definition to their lips as a result of aging. This a permanent volume replacement to the lips that uses the patient’s own (SMAS) tissue taken at the time of the lift procedure to use as a natural lip enhancement. This helps to restore the definition to the lip and the cupid’s bow, while enhancing three dimensional volume and decreasing lipstick lines. This is a great alternative to the results of unnatural lip implants and can be more cost-effective long term than injectable fillers to the lips.

Anesthesia: IV Twilight Sedation in conjunction with a minilift or lower facelift procedure

Surgery Type: Outpatient

Downtime: One week with restrictions on exercise and lifting anything heavier than 5lbs. Patient may have slight swelling or bruising. Patients will still need to adhere to certain post-surgical instructions that will be specific to the procedure. Limitations will be discussed during a thorough pre-operative appointment.

Stitch Removal: Stitches are dissolvable.

Techniques: During a minilift or lower facelift procedure, the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaperneurotic System) layer of tissue that is addressed during a deep plane lift is elevated into a more youthful position, and the excess is trimmed away. This excess tissue makes an ideal natural lip enhancement using your own tissue. A small stab incision is made bilaterally into the mucosa on the inside of the top and bottom lip. This will turn the clock back on the patient’s lips in tandem with the rejuvenation of having a lift procedure.

The trust I have in Dr. Winslow is beyond words. I'm one week post-op and she has communicated with me every day, her staff has taken care of me, and my results are already beyond what I ever imagined they could be, but what I always wanted. I was recommended to Dr. Winslow from a friend, and I feel that it was the best decision I have ever made for myself. The atmosphere is exactly what it should be. They are comfortable people to be around, and on the day of surgery they took away all of my fear just by being who they are. It's an experience you cannot force, and I will always go back for anything I ever want or need done to my face. Dr. Winslow puts her heart into her work. She sees the things in you that you cannot even explain. It's art. I am looking forward to my pictures being on her website some day. I would say that it is a privilege to be her patient. I think the entire team is amazing. My life will change forever.

I LOVE everything about this place! The entire staff is so kind and welcoming. From the consult to the follow ups post op, I felt at ease. The environment and good vibes alleviated all the nervousness I had. I'm just the "girl next door", so it was initially intimidating. All of my questions were answered, response times were prompt and I really feel like the doctor cares about my well-being. Just as important, my results are AMAZING and I am still early in the healing stages!

Dr. Winslow is a rock star. If you want a doctor who is serious about patient care and results, you MUST see her! Her portfolio, credentials, education and experience are quite impressive and her work proves just that. After many months of research and consults with other doctors in Ohio and Indiana, I made the absolute best choice. Do NOT gamble with someone performing medical procedures your face. I'll save you the time, money, and research looking for someone who can make you feel your best.

I loved seeing men in there too!! Men deserve to feel their best as well! Would never go to anyone else after my experience. Thank you Dr. Winslow and to all of your staff! I really feel like the best version of me and the outside matches the inside now!!

I can’t believe 2 1/2 years have passed since I had rhinoplasty. Dr. Winslow said give your nose a good two years to fully heal. She was so right because in this last six months, my nose has shrunk and gone down and is so tiny. I’m just thrilled. It is perfect. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

EXCELLENT experience and care!

The BEST in expertise and artistic ability! Dr. Winslow never saw a picture of my mom, but my “improved” nose looks so natural, that she gave me my mom’s nose (even a lil better! Lol!), balanced to our petite features! I get compliments of how much I favor my mom now! Thought about the procedure for years, researched for years, and so glad I found Dr. Winslow! Entire process and and all staff are outstanding !! Trust your face to skill, precision, and art, that Dr Winslow consistently delivers!!

I've never felt so comfortable during a spa treatment

I had SUCH an amazing experience at Winslow’s! I felt right at home when I walked in. I never felt so comfortable during a spa treatment. Kelsey, who did my facial, was super gentle with me and tentative to my skin needs. Seriously, you are in good hands if you use their services!

Dr. Winslow is amazing! She performed a rhinoplasty for me, and her work is just beautiful. She is very knowledgeable and has understood me and addressed my concerns throughout the process.

How much pain can I expect?

Again, it depends on the procedure. Patients may experience a headache after a trichophytic browlift. Some discomfort and dryness after eyelid surgery is expected, and the swelling of the eyelids may impair visual fields for a day or two. A facelift is uncomfortable for the first 24 to 48 hours, after which most patients are surprised by the lack of pain. Rhinoplasty patients typically don’t experience a lot of pain but they do experience nasal stuffiness and cannot blow their nose following surgery which is the biggest post surgical complaint. Regardless of procedure, pain will be controlled with narcotics until it is manageable with Tylenol. Pain is a unique sensation, and no two people will perceive it the same.
